  I have one of these little goodies hooked up to an LQ1500 and it works!
But that's about all I have to say for it.  It is incosistant in the placement
of the graphics, ie sometimes the letters look fine, and the next letter
will look weird, you'd have to see it to understand it.  We have not
be satified at all, and have gone back to the ImageWriter II.

  My recommendation, buy a LaserWriter SC.  That's the cheap way out, my
real recommendation is buy a LaserWriter II NT, but that's real expensive.
Also you might be happy with one of the numerous non-apple laser printers,
including the GCC Personal LW, and the AST TurboLaser.
